READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Am I building God up… or myself? The storytellers of Scripture are more than storytellers, they are messengers of God. The classroom is in the stillness of the soul as the Holy Spirit speaks, teaches, convicts, and assures the believer of eternal things. Truth is not a function of one’s opinion or perspective, it is not…

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Material success is not the measure by which we gauge spiritual maturity. Affluence does not equal godliness.

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Consciousness is eternal. Negative volition and ego are the only hindrances to spiritual maturity.

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Life is fleeting, like the wind and evaporation – short-lived and quickly passing. We search for truth and knowledge, but are never filled – that is what eternity is all about. Time is lived for filling, eternity for fullness.

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Understand this – human viewpoint supplants divine establishment. Panaceas captivate the ignorant. Religion is anti-Christ. The entire world is being gathered and prepared for dictatorship. It is the sin nature that tempts us to commit sin. This inherent distorter of human life continually opposes God’s plan for blessing humankind (Galatians 5:17). Human nature is unreliable, unstable,…

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Ill-defined terms and ambiguous statements are linguistic devices, ones employed by political propagandists in the art of persuasion and suggestion, and usually arouse emotional appeal that directs the people’s attitudes and decisions, usually to their own detriment.

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Singing praises to the Lord about what we have done is not praise!
